Özet

Objective: Spinal cord injuries are frequently encountered and is a major health problem due to the severe disability they cause. The neurological damage of acute spinal cord trauma triggers primary mechanisms of injury and cell death activation cascades leading to tissue damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of vitamin D-3 in a rat model of spinal cord injury.
